Cora rubbed her worn hands and said, "Timothy, listen to me. Return the furniture. These old pieces are still good. We don't need to waste money on new ones!"Timothy was touched. His parents had lived in poverty all their lives, and now that he had money, he couldn't bear to let them suffer even a little bit.He shook his head and said, "Mom, Dad, just trust me. I've got everything arranged. You'll be able to move right in!"Without giving them a chance to argue, he led his parents and Tiana out of the small courtyard. They flagged down a cab, and all four of them got in.The cab driver looked at Cora and Joseph, who were dirty from cleaning their home, and frowned disdainfully. "Where to?"Timothy replied, "Dragoncrest Manor District."The driver blinked in confusion, staring at Timothy. "Are you joking? Where do you want to go?"Timothy repeated, "Dragoncrest Manor District. Do you not understand?"The driver's expression turned odd as he looked over the backseat passengers.
With a smile, Timothy said, "Mom, we haven't come to the wrong place. It's right here."Joseph, unable to hold back, asked with a tremor in his voice, "Timothy, this place must cost tens of thousands per square foot, right? Are you renting or buying?"Timothy chuckled softly. The Dragoncrest Manor District was the most expensive place in Lormford City, with prices reaching over 200,000 per square foot. That figure was beyond his parents' imagination. He shook his head and said, "No, the price here is only a few thousand per square foot.""A few thousand per square foot?" The elderly couple looked at Timothy with suspicion. Tiana, too, puffed out her cheeks, her face full of surprise. "The price here is only a few thousand per square foot? I thought it would be tens of thousands!"Timothy laughed and didn't say more. "Dad, Mom, Tiana, let's go in. I'll show you around."Joseph still had some reservations. "Timothy, are you sure your house is really in here? I don't feel like th
Timothy glanced around and was about to speak when a young saleswoman approached them. Sporting a bun, a cute black hair clip, and high heels, she appeared to be in her early 20s. Smiling, she asked, "Hello, sir. May I have your name?"Timothy raised an eyebrow and looked at her name tag, which read Lilian Lovelace. He returned the polite smile and said, "I'm here to see William Dawson.""Mr. Dawson?" The saleswoman seemed surprised and momentarily puzzled.At that moment, the clacking of high heels approached, followed by an irritated voice. "Lilian, you're supposed to be receiving our clients during work hours."An attractive woman in a tight black skirt appeared. Her face was one of clear disdain and irritation. She glanced at Timothy and his group, quickly covering her nose with her hand and frowning as she said, "Where did these smelly beggars come from? This isn't a place for people like you! Get out!"Seeing Tiana's difficulty walking, the woman's disdain deepened. She to
Timothy waited for a while, growing increasingly impatient as there was still no news. During this time, Lilian brought each of them a glass of water.Timothy had a good impression of Lilian, but after waiting a bit longer with no updates, his patience wore thin. His parents grew restless, repeatedly trying to leave. They were clearly uncomfortable in the upscale environment, especially with the occasional disdainful glances from others.Timothy, losing his patience, noticed Jane in the lobby chatting with other clients, wearing a full, flattering smile. She continued to ignore them, so Timothy called out loudly, "Ms. Ziegler, what did William say?"That interrupted her conversation with her client. Hence, her expression darkened. After a few more words and a few smiles to the client, she approached Timothy looking irritated.Crossing her arms, she said sharply, "Mr. Dawson isn't here. Ms. Wallace is in charge now, and she says you need to leave immediately! If you don't, I'll ha
Inside the office, a woman was lying on the desk, her legs draped over the shoulders of a man standing in front of her. The woman, with her hair tied up and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had flushed cheeks and was breathing heavily. Her long, black-stocking-clad legs lifted over the man's shoulders as she wriggled her hips seductively. Her ample bosom swayed with each movement as she clung to the man's neck with one hand and braced herself on the desk with the other.She leaned into his ear, whispering breathlessly, "Mr. Kent, we agreed that the contract for that property should be signed this month—"Fred Kent leered, "No problem, sweetheart. You're doing such a great job. I'll make sure it happens even if you didn't ask."He gave her rear a firm slap, eliciting a loud moan from her. She smiled seductively, "Then, Mr. Kent, make sure to introduce any friends of yours who are looking to buy houses to me.""Sure thing, darling! You're so dedicated. It's no wonder you're the top sal
Timothy's eyes were cold and detached as he said, "Call William right now. Got it?"Dani was shaking with fear. Timothy's presence was so intimidating she felt like she was facing a wild beast. Trembling, she dialed William's number and, with a hoarse voice, said, "Mr. Dawson, someone… someone is here to see you."Timothy grabbed the phone, his voice icy, "This is Timothy Yeager. I want to see you in three minutes."The call ended, and the office fell into silence. Timothy glanced at Fred beside him, frowning, "Aren't you leaving? Or would you like me to give you a kick too?"Terrified, Fred hurriedly dressed and fled, leaving Timothy to toss Dani aside. Lighting another cigarette, Timothy took a leisurely drag and said, "Why are women so shameless? You'll never learn until you get a lesson."He slapped Dani across the face, instantly disfiguring her once beautiful features. Outside, Jane was so paralyzed that she nearly pissed herself when she saw that even Dani was beaten up b
William respectfully handed over a gold card. Timothy took it and, flashing a smile at his parents and Tiana, said, "Mom, Dad, Tiana, let's go."The three, still in shock, snapped out of their daze and followed Timothy out of the building.Meanwhile, Jane was dragged into the room. Soon, the sounds of her and Dani's screams filled the room.Downstairs, Timothy saw Lilian. She looked startled and asked, "Mr. Yeager, are you alright?"Timothy shot her a faint smile. "I'm fine. Thank you for today.""It's nothing." Lilian forced a smile, though she felt a bit down. She was worried about whether she'd keep her job after upsetting Jane.Timothy gave her a meaningful smile and said, "Keep up the good work. I believe you can do even better.""Huh?"Before Lilian could respond, Timothy and his group left the sales office and walked into the manor area.Watching Timothy's retreating figure, Lilian felt a bit down. She shook her head, bitterly smiling. It seemed unlikely she'd get a cha
Holding the phone, Timothy wore an icy gaze. "Is the information accurate?"On the other end, Zack responded respectfully, "I've had several people planted there recently. Indeed, Norgon sent people to Lormford City, and their destination was the Reginald family. This happened just last night!"Timothy rubbed his chin, a playful glint in his eyes. He could guess why Norgon was here. He was just surprised that the Reginald family had connections with them. It seemed that, despite how calm all the families in Lormford City seemed, there were deep and murky undercurrents hiding underneath the surface.Zack continued, "I've also learned that the Reginald family issued a kill order in Lormford City's black market last night, offering a substantial sum to recruit underground forces and some local assassins. This move is quite significant. Chief, you—""The Reginald family can't stir up much trouble alone," Timothy interrupted him nonchalantly. "Let them come. I'll take care of whoever
Timothy remained silent and enjoyed the show. Cecilia knelt and looked up with a sensuous gaze. She bit her red lip and asked, "Master, do you want me?"Timothy's expression was one of amusement, and his emotions remained inscrutable to Cecilia. She slowly reached out and touched Timothy's belt. As she observed the changes before her, her eyes were filled with shock. She gasped subtly, swallowing hard. The comparison between Leon and Timothy was like night and day.Her cheeks flushed as she looked up at Timothy, her eyes full of astonishment. It wasn't for any reason other than the fact that Timothy was… simply too overwhelming. She had dated several guys and had seen plenty, but none could compare to Timothy. Her hands trembled as she tried to undo his belt. Her throat felt dry, and she licked her lips nervously. She made a few attempts but ultimately failed. A light sheen of sweat formed on her face.Timothy continued to watch her, feeling amused as she knelt in front of him
"Time to die." A whisper, like the voice of death, echoed in Leon's ear. Just as he was about to speak, Timothy's hand moved in front of him—a simple, light swipe.Leon's body froze instantly. Seconds later, his lifeless body collapsed to the floor. Cecilia looked at Leon's body and let out a hysterical scream. Leon's face was gone—his entire face was gone! Where his face used to be was now a flat, bone-smooth surface, as if it had been cut by a saw. The cut was so clean and smooth that it looked terrifyingly unreal. It was a gruesome sight.Cecilia had never witnessed something so horrifying. After her scream, her voice was caught in her throat as fear consumed her. Her stomach churned, and she couldn't hold back as she vomited. She slid down to the floor, looking disheveled. She looked at Timothy with tears welling up in her eyes. Her face was absolutely pale as she sobbed, shaking like a leaf. "Please… Please spare me… I'm begging you…"Timothy's eyes darkened, a bloodt
Leon's expression was twisted in anger as he shouted, "Did you think I'm powerless against the likes of you? Raise your hands and get on your knees!"Timothy wasn't the least bit surprised. He stared at Leon with deep, intense eyes. "Put the gun down. I don't like being aimed at."Leon cocked the gun and loaded it with a click. His finger rested on the trigger as he sneered. "You're still acting tough at a time like this. I'll admit that you're gutsy, but you must die here today."Timothy shook his head with a regretful expression. "I told you I don't like being aimed at. Put the gun down. If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life. But if you don't put it down in three seconds, I'll have no choice but to send you to hell.""Send me to hell? You don't have what it takes! I've been with Blackgeld for years. I've seen it all," Leon responded.Timothy's expression shifted as he asked, "Has someone in Blackgeld been planning to kidnap Mavis Jefferson, the CEO of Jefferson Group, l
Leon laughed heartily and reached out to grope Cecilia's ample bosom. She let out a soft moan, squeezing her legs together instinctively as arousal traveled up her body. She wrapped herself around Leon like a snake, her eyes seductive as she bit her lip.She whispered, "Leon, I want it again. Come and give it to me."Leon's eyes became bloodshot. "Oh, you little vixen. It seems like you're not satiated yet. I'll make sure you get more than you bargained for today!" He flipped over, positioning himself on top of Cecilia. Just as they were about to enjoy their moment, a knock came from outside. "Hey, open up. Don't be a coward," Timothy called out.Leon shouted mockingly, "Idiot, did you think I'd be stupid enough to just stand where I was and wait for you? You've taken the bait. You're dead meat now!"Outside, Timothy shrugged helplessly and said, "If you open the door now and apologize on your knees, I'll leave your corpse intact. If you don't, things won't end well for you whe
Cecilia stared in disbelief at the man downstairs. It was like something straight out of a movie, yet it was happening vividly right before her eyes. She had never imagined that in real life, someone could actually take on dozens, or even hundreds of men alone. Timothy demonstrated what it meant to be fiercely skilled. Those thugs wielding machetes and clubs became nothing more than straw men in front of him. Every punch, every kick, every movement of his body became a deadly weapon. No one could get close to him. It was as if he had some kind of sixth sense for dodging attacks. He consistently slipped away just before the weapons could land. Timothy moved effortlessly with a relaxed expression. Every one of his moves was fluid and purposeful. One thug after another fell. They were reduced to nothing more than bouncy balls in the courtyard, as they were sent flying in all directions by Timothy's kicks. With each casual slap or kick, someone would be launched through the air.
At that moment, Leon was just done having his way with Cecilia in a luxurious villa. Cecilia lay naked on the bed, her face flushed. Her fair, long legs were posed seductively. Leon, breathing heavily, touched Cecilia's smooth bottom and grinned wickedly. "Babe, you've gotten even better. I almost couldn't handle you."Cecilia looked at him with a seductive gaze, tracing circles on his chest with her finger as she said sweetly, "Leon, I have my eye on a new bag recently. It's so pretty. I want it so badly.""If you want it, just buy it. How much is it?"Cecilia's face lit up, and she replied coquettishly, "It's around 80 thousand dollars."Leon, puffing on a cigar, scoffed. "80 thousand? That's nothing."He got up and walked to the safe in the corner of the bedroom. Then, he entered the code. Cecilia looked over and was stunned. The safe was full of cash and gold bars! Her heart raced as she also saw a gun inside. It was the first time in her life she had seen one, and she was
The store assistant became excited and recounted, "It was a young man, and he just left the store. He didn't dress well and didn't look wealthy. But he came in, barely glanced around, and bought a bracelet. "That bracelet was close to three million dollars, and he bought it right away! We've been in business for several years. This is the first time I've seen someone who keeps such a low profile."Susan was stunned, and Jason was equally shocked. He looked at Susan, swallowed hard, and stammered, "Could it be… Timothy?"Beside him, Susan did her best to suppress the shock she was feeling and asked the store assistant, "Can you describe what he looked like and what he was wearing?"The store assistant described him briefly, and Susan was absolutely flabbergasted. The person she described was indeed Timothy!She felt like she'd just been struck by a bolt of lightning that left her head buzzing. She couldn't believe that Timothy had bought a bracelet that was about three million dol
Susan had broken up with Timothy and cheated on him back then because he was poor. If Timothy was rich now, it would be a bitter pill to swallow for her. But on the other hand, she felt something for Timothy deep in her heart. It was a kind of feeling that she couldn't quite place her finger on. After all, she had genuinely loved Timothy back then. She ultimately left him because he was dirt poor. If he was rich now, wasn't there a possibility for them to rekindle their relationship?Susan refused to believe that Timothy had no lingering feelings for her at all. Back then, he had been so deeply in love with her. In the present time, it didn't seem like he had a girlfriend or a woman by his side. Even if he did, she was probably nowhere as good as her.Those two conflicting thoughts occupied Susan's mind. As such, a conflicted expression appeared on her beautiful, delicate face. Timothy had no idea what was going through Susan's mind at that moment. If he knew, he would have tol
Susan bit her lip, and a complicated expression appeared on her face. Since she and Timothy had been in a relationship in the past, meeting again at this moment was somewhat awkward. After a brief silence, Susan bit her lip again and forced a smile at Timothy. "We meet again. Are you shopping at the mall too? What a coincidence."Timothy shrugged. "It's not a pleasant coincidence, though. After all, someone here clearly doesn't welcome my presence."Without a doubt, he was referring to Jason. Jason's expression soured in response. He glared at Timothy and scoffed coldly as he said mockingly, "It's good that you know. Indeed, I don't wish to see your face. Running into you brings bad luck."He looked Timothy up and down before sneering again, remarking, "It's not that I have bad luck—it's this place. How could someone as broke as you even think of coming here?"Susan tugged at Jason's hand and said with a frown, "Jason, we're all classmates here. Is it necessary to be so harsh w
